1.Catch Hook
Integrate Webhooks by Zapier and webhook tooling to map session and issue context to local variables to route dispatch inputs.
Trigger CI job from issue webhook to selected repo
Automatically catch issue and session payloads across Webhooks by Zapier and GitHub. Automatically determine the target repo, dispatch the CI workflow, and write a session note back to the originating issueβso you can avoid manual triage, prevent missed runs, and keep an audit trail without manual paperwork.
How this automation triggers your CI runs
When an issue webhook arrives without the right repo identified, CI runs can be delayed and context gets lost. This automation catches the webhook payload, extracts or suggests the repo, dispatches a GitHub workflow, and creates an issue activityβso your team can keep builds moving.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
